progress:  On page 36. "I happen to be reading The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man at the same time as The Waves and am struck by the similarity. Both are written with a stream of consciousness that uses the language of children at the beginning but which evolves as the characters get older." Mar 06, 2014 12:49PM

“Jack, you've debauched my sloth.”
Patrick O'Brian, H.M.S. Surprise

Marcel Proust
“People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.”
Marcel Proust

Patrick O'Brian
“Two weevils crept from the crumbs. 'You see those weevils, Stephen?' said Jack solemnly.

Which would you choose?'

There is not a scrap of difference. Arcades ambo. They are the same species of curculio, and there is nothing to choose between them.'

But suppose you had to choose?'

Then I should choose the right-hand weevil; it has a perceptible advantage in both length and breadth.'

There I have you,' cried Jack. 'You are bit - you are completely dished. Don't you know that in the Navy you must always choose the lesser of two weevils? Oh ha, ha, ha, ha!”
Patrick O'Brian
